After 21 years in a demanding leadership role in education, I hit burnout.

The Invisible Cost of Being the Strong One: Why Midlife Women Break Down After Holding It All Together for Years
So many midlife women spend their whole lives being “the strong one” — the reliable friend, the supportive partner, the capable colleague, the woman who holds everything together while quietly falling apart herself. But what does that constant strength actually cost you?
In this deeply emotional and revealing episode of Brain Fog Solution, Emma explores the invisible weight carried by high-achieving women in perimenopause and menopause. You’ll discover why so many of us fall into the “strong friend” role, how this pattern leads to burnout, brain fog, exhaustion and loss of identity, and why your body can no longer tolerate pushing through.
Emma offers compassionate insight into the hidden stress load midlife women carry, why your hormones amplify everything, and how to redefine strength in a way that supports your wellbeing rather than draining it. This episode is a powerful reminder that real strength isn’t holding it all together — it’s allowing yourself to rest, receive support, and set boundaries without guilt.
If you’ve ever felt unseen, overwhelmed, or like you’re carrying the emotional load of everyone around you, this episode will speak straight to your heart.
Perfect for women in their 40s, 50s and 60s navigating brain fog, burnout, emotional overload, perimenopause, identity shifts and midlife reinvention.
